Last month in Munich I spoke about social games, common myths about them and the relative truth for each of them. While we have been working on social games projects for a while, we aren’t as familiar with this part of the industry as we are with the MMO space, for instance. Researching for this lecture was a lot of fun and a learning experience.
Because of the evolving nature of the social games, we are still at the very beginning of the story, and I expect the presentation to get outdated very quickly.
I had the opportunity to talk to people working at the biggest social games development studios during the process, and a lot of the content here comes from those discussions (which were full of hopes as well as frustrations). Here it is for you to read:

On Tuesday 13th of July, I presented my lecture “Games as a service, do you really know what it means?” at the Develop in Brighton conference. While I have changed the slides a bit for the event, the content was essentially the same as when I presented it in Seattle for the LOGIN conference, and you can find the presentation on slideshare.
The really good news is that Dan Hon did a great write up of my presentation (something I meant to do for a while but never took the proper time to do) and you can find it on his blog:

That’s a topic I have spoken about a lot in the past year and anyone familiar with this blog has seen an iteration of that presentation. I will still put it here, as each iteration as its own flavour and set of data.

I was particularly impressed by the content, all the speakers being very good in their field. But there is something that needs to be said on the organisation as well which was spotless. It reminded me of the Nordic conference in the sense that it looked perfect from where I stood, especially as a speaker. The organisation, the audience, the facility, all were great.
I will definetely attend again given the opportunity.
This being said, I also wanted to share here the presentation I gave there. You will find it familiar as I have been speaking on the topic quite a lot for the past 12 Months, but numbers have been refreshed, so it might still be worth a read for some of you.<!–more–>
